| 9 | This folder contains some useful objects, categories, and protocols. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | To load a group of objects, protocols, and categories in this library |
|---|
| 12 | change your Prolog working directory to this folder and then compile |
|---|
| 13 | and load the corresponding loader utility file. Currently, there are |
|---|
| 14 | eight groups of entities defined, each one with a loader and a notes |
|---|
| 15 | file: |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | dates |
|---|
| 18 | dates_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 19 | dates.notes |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | debugging |
|---|
| 22 | debugging_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 23 | debugging.notes |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | dependents |
|---|
| 26 | dependents_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 27 | dependents.notes |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | events |
|---|
| 30 | events_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 31 | events.notes |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | hierarchies |
|---|
| 34 | hierarchies_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 35 | hierarchies.notes |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | metapredicates |
|---|
| 38 | metapredicates_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 39 | metapredicates.notes |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | random |
|---|
| 42 | random_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 43 | random.notes |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | types |
|---|
| 46 | types_loader.lgt |
|---|
| 47 | types.notes |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | There is also a file named all_loader.lgt that will load all entities in the |
|---|
| 50 | groups listed above. |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | To compile and load the loader files type you may use the Logtalk built-in |
|---|
| 53 | predicate logtalk_load/1. For example: |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | | ?- logtalk_load(all_loader). |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | Specific notes about each group of objects, categories, and protocols can be |
|---|
| 58 | found in the corresponding *.notes files. |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | Some of the files contained in this directory represent work in progress and |
|---|
| 61 | are not loaded by default by any loader utility file. |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | Some of the code in this library is based on public domain Prolog code, in |
|---|
| 64 | particular, code adopted from the Edinburgh Prolog library. The definition |
|---|
| 65 | of predicate reverse/2 in object list is from Richard O'Keefe and can be found |
|---|
| 66 | in its book "The Craft of Prolog". |
|---|
| 67 | |
|---|
| 68 | By default, compiling any group of entities described above generates a .xml |
|---|
| 69 | documenting file for each compiled entity (object, category, or protocol). |
|---|
| 70 | See the xml sub-directory for instructions on how to browse the .xml files |
|---|
| 71 | for on-line reading or how to convert the files to a print-ready format such |
|---|
| 72 | as PDF. |
|---|
| 73 | |
|---|
| 74 | All source files are formatted using four-spaces tabs. |
